Guns

@hydro-terp I bet it will run like a scalded dog. My Tank Commander does. I'm replacing a few parts only because I'm a tinkerer. No need, really.
 
Wow. I usually carry a larger gun, but for a quick trip for gas/mik, a run to Lowes for that nut you dropped and can't find, or to the grocery to get something the wife needs NOW, I often drop a 1980s vintage Taurus Model 85CH in my pocket holster in the front pocket of my jeans.

I looked at it today and it was full of lint and gunk, I haven't cleaned it in years. I know revolvers are always supposed to go bang, but I had abuse this gun terribly. Then I thought, "I haven't ever had the sideplate off this gun!" I sent it to Taurus around the turn of 2000 to be cleaned and slicked up, but I had never opened it. Having done trigger jobs on 4 Ruger revolvers, I thought how hard can it be?

Plenty hard. Rugers are wonders of simplicity. This gun is not. I wish I had a shot of it all gunked up with the parts still in it, but I got a shot after removing the internals to show how sludge it really was. Second shot is cleaned up with the parts installed again, (that was half an hour to figure out). Then all closed up. Shot it tonight and it's right as rain.

Don't let your snub get this dirty. It will likely still go bang, but it's just not right.

That doesn’t look dirty to me lol. Then again, i don’t have any guns in the house right now. Need to change that, with some of the crazy stuff that seems to find its way to me at times. Should talk to my dad, he has plenty lol.

Not to derail the thread, but what’s a nice one that isn’t too expensive that my wife might also be able to handle? We had a yahoo wander up and pound on our door late one night in a 18mph gusty snowstorm claiming to look for his lost “drone” in my yard. Local pd handled that one, and maybe he was looking legitimately but freaked out the wife when he started wandering the yard with his hands up.

Too weird!! Who flys a drone at night in a snowstorm?
